Egypt? The Nigerian women's team is the strongest in Africa so it was suprising that they lost to Malawi maybe they underrated them but they've revived their confidence with Zambia and now second in their group. Back to your question about Egypt, it would be so disappointing if they don't win them, Egypt that's lost two of their matches to Malawi and Zambia, go check the table and see them at the bottom.

 I'm very sure that the Super Falcons would qualify from the group stage, they've not fail to do that for many year now, moreover they're defending the title so leaving in the group stage would be embarrassing. Egypt is a weak side, weaker than Malawi and Zambia, they've not claimed any point yet so the Super Falcons should easily beat them.

We couldn't beat Malawi, struggled against Zambia and scammed away with undeserved win, what made you think the game against Egypt would be easy for us. These girls are not on the same level as they were the last time we won the title. Too many older players in the team now.

We're 3rd with zero goal difference. Malawi has qualified and will rotate their squad against Zambia.

I didn't watch the Nigeria vs Zambia match but I want to ask if the referee help the Super Falcons to win Zambia that made you believe they didn't deserve to win Zambia? Egypt conceded nine goals in two of their matches, three against Malawi and six against Zambia that the Super Falcons defeated with a one woman down, so I agree with Princess Leah that Egypt would be easy for us because I just see Egypt as a team that came to make up for the women's African Cup of Nations.

I believe the oldest player in the team is the goalie yet she was able to keep a clean sheet against Zambia. Age is not the problem with this team, they are doing great imo. They just need our support and less criticism to succeed in the group stage.

I'm not criticizing them but I don't know our support is enough for a team that got beaten by a lower ranked team in an opening match; they underrated their opponent and got punished.

I glanced through the starting lineup and only 3 players are playing in Europe, the rest are playing for money in the East and America. They're moving like the Men..

Zambia was the biggest threat to us in that group but with luck we won them even with a man down (woman in this case). Egypt will be a walk over, we just have to pray the other result tilt in our favor. A possible draw will be the best result for us.

Malawi are going to field their bench against Zambia - they won't stand a chance even with their strongest lineup. Don't get your hope high, we won't make it.

Easy? Like, you mean easy-easy? Tell me it will be a struggle, but they may win and I'll buy that. Don't use the word easy, this is exactly why we were kicked out of the race in the WC (men).

"Money over everything" is typically the quote that rings in their head, and runs through their veins. Unless they don't find an opportunity, they just want to make more money. Egypt in two days; if they lose, I guess we won't make a big deal out of it if a citizen doesn't have any interest to support their country.

I believe that the falcons have learnt their lesson in their first game against Malawi, and it is better that they did in that first game so they will know that every team in WAFCON are their to win and they cannot afford to underate any teams. After that Malawi, lose I'm hoping that it would be their final lose in this WAFCON otherwise they should preper to be humiliated out of the tournament after they came highly recommend to lift gold. Let us not be too hasty to give up on them yet, all they have to do now is defeat Egypt in their next game to stand a chance of moving ahead and that would restore most of our confidence in them.

I understand your point but you’re doing same thing you accuse the Super Falcons of doing - you’re underestimating Malawi because of their FIFA ranking. If we have learnt anything from the 2026 FIFA World Cup is that FIFA rankings cannot be used as a criteria to rate team performance in tournaments. Malawi performance is quite similar to Cape Verde imo.

Not alot of football fans will get it right now, the situation with the Nigerian woman league is quite bad, instead them to build on their previous success, they were so relaxed to start losing right from the qualify stage of FIFA women world cup and now they current conditions, is quite bad how supper women have fallen so bad and now leaving on hopes.
